TUGUEGARAO CITY, Cagayan, Oct. 11 (PIA) – The 513th Engineers Construction Battalion , Philippine Army has assured residents of host communities of their safety while infrastructure projects of the government are being implemented in their areas.

Lt. Col. Crescencio Mogado said they bring the brigade’s heavy equipment to critical and geopraphically isolated and underpriveledged areas (GIDA) to accomplish government infrastructure projects like bridges, roads, school buildings, farm to market roads, among other.


He said some project contractors turned down government projects in GIDAs and critical areas because they are often victims of extortion and if they failed, their heavy equipment are at risk of burning and destruction by the New Peoples Army.

While in the community, we ensure they are safe and that they can live freely, Mogado added as the brigade also work hand in hand with the barangay officials not only for security as well as in providing other services like blood-letting, bayanihan and others.

Mogado said they aslo so cater to private organization’s projects provided that these projects are located in critical and GIDAs,” he said.

For local government units who want to avail our services, they can freely contact us, Mogado added. (MDCT/GVB/PIA 2-Cagayan)
